Table 3 Comparison of disease severity between patients without and with pleural effusion.
| No pleural effusion (n=197) | Pleural effusion (n=25) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pancreatic inflammation | 139 (70.56) | 23 (92.00) | |
| Pancreatic fluid collection | 26 (13.20) | 9 (36.00) | |
| Pancreatic necrosis | 2 (1.02) | 0 (0.00) | 1.000 |
| APACHE II score | 5.00 (3.00–7.00) | 6.00 (3.50–10.00) | 0.182 |
| MODS score | 1.00 (0.00–2.00) | 1.00 (1.00–3.00) | 0.077 |
| BISAP score | 1.00 (0.00–1.00) | 2.00 (1.00–3.00) | |
| Modified CTSI | 2.00 (0.00–2.00) | 4.00 (4.00–6.00) | |
| Severity | |||
| Mild | 161 (81.73) | 12 (48.00) | |
| Moderate/severe | 36 (18.27) | 13 (52.00) | |
| SIRS | 47 (23.86) | 8 (32.00) | 0.374 |
| Data are presented as median (interquartile range) or n (%). APACHE II – Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II; BISAP – Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis; CTSI – computed tomography severity index; MODS – multiple organ dysfunction syndrome; SIRS – systemic inflammatory response syndrome. | |||
